Somatic Coaching

Are you curious about the wisdom that your body holds ?

Somatic Coaching aims to cut the noise and clutter of the mind. To hear your true voice and guidance system underneath it all. This is accessed through the body’s felt sensations.

This work facilitates a deeper understanding of your lived experiences, empowering you to break free from limiting patterns and embrace sustainable transformation .

Through these sessions, you'll learn to tune into your body's signals, recognize the impact of stress and trauma in your nervous system, allow it to process, and cultivate a sense of safety and grounding. Each session provides a supportive space to show up as you are right now.

Envision a life with more lightness, expansive space, and a deeper rootedness within yourself and your community.

Somatic coaching opens up more richness when life is flowing, and fosters you with creative resilience, deeper trust, and inner capacity to move forward when life ebbs.

If this sounds like you, let’s chat.

“The roots of a seed receive the whispers of mother earth. Just as the neurons in the brain embody the voice of the soul.
The voice is the same for both and says: darling you must grow & reach for the light.”

FAQ’s

  • To put simply: we sit together and explore what is making you feel stuck, anxious, angry, confused or fearful. Some people are not ready to jump right into the bigness of these sensations and that's okay. First we build safety within the container, and then we gradually touch the sticky points from a trauma-informed lens. Gradually over time, the sessions give you an opportunity to emotionally and somatically process stuck emotions in your body and nervous system.

  • I am not a psychotherapist or mental health counselor. My approach to somatic coaching is informed by Dr. Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing. I am currently enrolled in this program to become a Somatic Experiencing Practioner.

    These sessions are not a substitute for therapy but they are deeply healing and transformative. We focus less on "talking" about your story and more about finding stillness to hear the wisdom in the body.
